Big fan of paddling! Haven't paddled for many years. But I truly enjoy the exceptional tutorials Ian is so generously providing to the paddling community!
Your very cool tutorial video was such a well set out for a refresher for me to get my eyes back on a good paddle technique. I've been off the water for awhile now , working towards V1/W1 here in NZ racing again soon.
Most Strokers have Cadence but they do NOT put as much POWER into the stroke... I pretend I"m in SEAT #4 in terms of BLADE PRESSURE... but my cadence is entirely dependent on WATER FEEL and how my crew behind me FEELS in RESPONSE... If the canoe cannot maintain the hull speed I back it off to let everyone bring their heart rate down about 20 beats and GO AGAIN ...
The ability to CHANGE Gears is the STROKERS role and FEEL the crew behind him and LEAD them with EMPATHY .. not KILL THEM 🤣🤣 .. Well .. only at the END !!
Many of our friends and guests ask what we do on weekends ... Paddling with Friends and competing with other friends in Outrigger Canoe Racing, the origin of Paddleboarding techniques and cultural vessel for the Hawaiian Lifestyle. Sprint Regatta Racing uses ONLY Traditional KOA CANOES, made and lovingly maintained for decades. Every Canoe is different but has to follow weight and waterline restrictions.
@@hyprian thx!, 4 years later i still paddeling!, Im from Argentina, and here is a relative new sport, the first canoes cames to argentina 15 years ago. and are made of fiber glass, in Buenos Aires are around 10 canoes of oc6
Hi Ian, how is the effectiveness of the seat one non-ama side pry vs a conventional UNI pry during the apex of the turn? I've been taught a few methods and have never seen anyone do a seat one pry. Your first turn in the video looked quite on point and effective. I may suggest doing that technique next time we try doing buoy turn practices where I paddle.
Aloha, It really depends on the PREFERENCE of the STEERSMAN and the boat's "TURNABILITY" - the goal is the SPIN as tight and fast as possible. I personally prefer to come over ASAP to AMA side to help PULL the nose over but my partner in crime Steersman is so good I don't have to do that.... I just KEEP PADDLING as much as possible
The guy sitting seat 2 is behind, he's using all arms. He needs to reach more and use more lower back and toes , and speed up, think pull water before the last stroke is done , My coach, Bruce Ayau, once told me he was with Kai O'pua because he wanted to win. Do you want to win?
@@hyprian Thanks for replying, Bruce and Dave the best, I was blessed to have gone diving with Henry to. Tell Bruce I think of him alot and thanks for everything and his friendship. Aloha to all.
@@kennethjmurphy3364 YOu're Awesome.. you understand what working together is .. sometimes you have to not sweat the stuff that don't matter .. if you're delivering the POWER. .then how you do not may not matter ..Aloha
LOL ! Sometimes you have to "forgive" your team mates or there'll be no peace ... thus the effectiveness of using video ... you don't have to say anything - Thank you Braddahcuz
You notice he's much bigger than me right ? 🤣 - I would get crack on head if I said anything.. I could certainly FEEL it .. but he's my friend so.. you gotta let it go for greater good of WINNING the RACE.. that's what i focus on ...
True. I wonder if he’s seen the footage? I’m sure he has. Perhaps he didn’t want to say anything as he knew it himself. Anyway congratulations on winning the race.

I'm exhausted and I'm just watching hahaha! I'm learning so much from these videos. Cheers
PLEASE Share it ! - and understand WHY these paddles were designed to achieve - th-cam.com/video/MAGLrTjHStc/w-d-xo.html -Aloha
Go Keauhou! Short changes...Beautiful day on Hilo Bay. What can be better!

I just got my Sonic W1 - two days ago .. great training tool for getting ready for W6 for sure .. Please share it
That was awesome! I can't believe you held that cadence for such a long time! Number 2 is a beast!

As a stroker, I think #2 is the make or break position. 1 and 2 in sync and the rest of the canoe can really work it.
Great power going into the catch, fantastic to watch.

are the canoe made of wood?
how a person without any paddling background can participate you people?
working or assisting or investing?
